Taylor is playing a game using a die and a spinner. The spinner is divided into 4 equal parts with colors green, red, yellow, and purple. Taylor rolls the die and spins the spinner. What is the probability the die shows a 2 and the spinner lands on purple?
Probability of rolling a 2 on the die is 1/6
Probability of getting a purple on the spinner is 1/4
Since each event is independent, our joint probability is:
P(2 on the die and Purple on the spinner) = P(2 on the die) x P(Purple on the Spinner)
P(2 on the die and Purple on the spinner) = 1/6 x 1/4
P(2 on the die and Purple on the spinner) = 1/24
Probability of rolling a 2 on the die is 1/6
Probability of getting a purple on the spinner is 1/4
Since each event is independent, our joint probability is:
P(2 on the die and Purple on the spinner) = P(2 on the die) x P(Purple on the Spinner)
P(2 on the die and Purple on the spinner) = 1/6 x 1/4
P(2 on the die and Purple on the spinner) = 1/24
